PROJECT COMPLETION (Second Junior Project) Length 10-15 pages

Juniors in BEST engage in a semester long College and Career Search which involves researching one career path thoroughly and researching colleges which offer this major. This research requires you to interview at least two professionals in your chosen career path and to utilize resource materials to learn all you can about the field.

Students are required to visit at least two local colleges, preferably overnight. They are given an opportunity to “shadow” college students at U.C. Berkeley and to experience college life through outreach program involvement. Currently the majority of our junior class has been enrolled in umbrella outreach programs such as Upward Bound, EAOP, or College Track.

The Junior Portfolio requirements include: personal statement (general), U.C. Berkeley personal statement, resume, mission statement, samples of their best work including revision and test prep material. All BEST juniors are required to take the SAT twice and U.C. Bound juniors are required to take the SAT II.
